Appreciation.... Ironville

I haven't gone on about any Swedish bands in a while now so here's a wonderfully animated video by Henrik Öhberg for the song, "Roses" by the band Ironville. I truly love this track! They're a band that pull off something I always thought would be fun with being a band and that is just making music that morphs and moves through whatever genres and styles appeal to them using multiple singers and as many instruments as they can fill a stage with at a time!

This is the video for "Roses"!

Appreciation... Yea Yeah! The Matt & Kim Show Equalled Awesome!

Last night, my girlfriend and I took in the Matt & Kim show at the Ottobar in Baltimore, MD, and it was an amazing time indeed! We even got to meet them before the show and they kindly autographed the sleeve to their EP for us, and Matt in particular was very talkative and excited for the show as it was their first in the city for 2009.

Their set was incredible! We were right up front, and they parked the drums and keyboard so close to the edge of the stage that we could read their "Matt & Kim" masking tape name tags on their equipment! The show was all high energy... stop to finish! So much fun and such a great night! This being the first show Lexi and I have ever hit together makes it rather special too!

Anticipation... Matt & Kim at the Ottobar in Baltimore, MD Feb. 26th!

I haven't been to a show in since the fall, so I picked up tickets to see that cool cute indie couple, Matt & Kim, in Baltimore as part of a Valentine's Day gift for my girlfriend. We're bursting with crazy, hyper excitement for the show! So in the meantime we've been frequently blasting tracks from the new album in the car and learning the lyrics to all the cool new songs because isn't that what an awesome new album is for after all!

From their new full length album, Grand, this is the video for "Daylight"!

Confession... Failed Blog Effort

Modern life has been keeping me busy, busy, busy and I really have let this page go! My time is precious and I have been so busy doing this and doing that, that blogging has not been on my list of things to do!

Truth be told, I have also been suffering a bit of blog envy, because I follow so many amazing blogs that showcase new music, and I feel they cover more bands and do a better job than I will ever possibly do. But ultimately, this blog was just for me to kind of put the things I like to look at or hear somewhere that I could find them easily and in turn showcase them a bit too to the people I know and care about -along with anyone else who happens to stumble across my page!

So I'll give it another go... see where it goes... and try to have some fun with it once more!

Stay tuned!
